for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two cars a report on. the ice to the right two hundred seventy two the nose to the left two hundred eighty five. the british government's war cry is silence as parliament rejects prime minister david cameron's call for military intervention in syria. that leaves president obama struggling to gather international support for his plan to launch limited airstrikes against the mascot's over its alleged use of chemical weapons. also emergency crews in russia's far east work around the clock trying to keep floodwaters at bay and evacuated residents as the worst delusion in a century takes a heavy toll on infrastructure. this

is r.t. coming to you live from moscow with me marina joshie. the united states is facing the prospect of going it alone in syria after washington's key ally withdrew its support for airstrikes in a storage vote british lawmakers defeated a motion by david cameron's government marking the first time in recent years that the u.k. has refused to take part in a u.s. led intervention military action was rejected by a margin of thirteen the votes with thirty members of cameron's own party turning against him parliament refused to sanction british involvement in syria even if un inspectors conclude that damascus was indeed responsible for the use of chemical weapons earlier in august and attack that reportedly killed hundreds of civilians in the eyes of lawmakers cameron was unable to make a sufficiently convincing case against ossett well when pressed by m.p.'s to explain why this hearing regime would have resorted to his staff provoking for an

action the premier admitted that british intelligence could not pinpoint a motive cameron then urged lawmakers to make their own judgment against acid and act on their convictions didn't a win over parliament creating an embarrassing situation for downing street sarah ferguson london has a details. defeated and she merely ate it that's how the prime minister is being portrayed today after that major political blow with parliament voting against military action it means that the prime minister's decision essentially to recall parliament to bring this nation against possible military action in syria has backfired spectacularly many of the prime ministers a party members turning against him labor today calling his leadership reckless and cavalier it's not going to sit comfortably with the prime minister this issue of foreign policy and it was a major issue that he really stands his name of paul is one that the prime minister

is the country usually leads on and you heard when the results of the vote was announced last night in the house of commons those cries for the prime minister to resign now questions over whether his leadership is really going to be under threat it's thought that's quite unlikely at this point but certainly he stands in a much we can and position today and as he said that defeat really not putting him in a comfortable position tool very many people feeling that the vote reflected the lack of public appetite for any military action certainly with the evidence that was on the table of course all eyes will now be on the us and what course of action they'll take they've lost a major ally in britain voting against military action the indicators coming from the us is that they'll be willing regardless to go it alone in terms of a timeline you've got the u.n. inspectors coming out the country on saturday in presenting their preliminary

findings so all eyes will be closely on that and then the actions that follow but as we said certainly the prime minister today had both internationally and here at home standing a little less tool today i think. meanwhile the french president is standing firm on his readiness to strike against the us government francois hollande says paris is in no way influenced by the vote in london and reserves the right to act unilaterally canada has also voiced support for intervention but has shied away from agreeing to take part however some of america's other nato allies have taken a more a lukewarm approach with british forces now out of the question germany italy austria and spain say they will back washington without a u.n. resolution now this as military experts across the globe warn against military intervention in syria british admiral allen west told r.t. that weakening the assad regime would provide a boost to extremist forces who could down turn against the west all my experience

of walls and i've been in them and in the lead up to them and i've been running them and things is to find that you have a more of unintended consequences you think you're just going to do one little thing but actually things then happen and expand the nations like the u.s. and the u.k. and france and turkey need to be very very careful about what action they take we need to be very clear what is it we actually want to achieve what is the end state we want we need to have in place mechanisms militarily to ensure that things don't go beyond a certain degree but i'm not at all convinced that attack would actually help the condition of the people within within syria we've seen what happened in iraq you know we've seen what's happened in afghanistan i have no doubt that the al qaida group and there are very large group i'm afraid in the opposition funded by people who haven't thought through what this really means would be delighted if america or britain. from so attacked they would be delighted by it but that doesn't mean they

like us and they want to actually have they oppose us and would like to do is farm but in a temporary basis that would suit them so we need to be very very careful how we actually act. u.n. inspectors in syria are set to present their findings on the use of chemical weapons over the weekend a former commander of the british military chemical the fancy regiment told r.t. the sketchy evidence on the attack leaves room to suspect that radical rebels were behind it go to piece together all the intelligence available or i'm very much of the favor that the permanent five perhaps should form a team of experts not just chemical but miller true as well who could look at all the evidence that's on the ground in syria and also the intelligence that's being gathered by those intelligence services and put it together that they know need a chance to come up with a ninety to ninety five guarantee. of who is responsible but at the moment that

level of confirmation is is probably only in the seventy's clifford ration of chemical weapons or biological weapons to syria into terrorist groups and says is must be the worst case scenario here there have been reports on corroborated that some terrorist groups have gained some of these stocks. of the syrian stockpile yet to be confirmed but that of course is is a possibility in future. now the u.s. president could go ahead with a limited strike against syria despite it was droll of support from washington's closest ally barack obama is now struggling to put together an international coalition of willing to launch action against a middle eastern state and the pentagon is moving its naval forces closer to syria in position for immediate strike if order is given for destroyers are currently deployed in the mediterranean sea and a fifth is reportedly on its way all the armed all of them armed with dozens of

tomahawk cruise missiles well there's also a nato task force in the area consisting of four more ships all of that in addition to the vast military presence of the u.s. and its allies on the territories of nearby countries are decent more important i reports on going developments. i have warned that president obama has not made of final decision but all signs are suggesting that a strike could occur as soon as united nations inspectors who are currently investigating last week's allegedly chemical attack in syria leave the country they are scheduled to depart from damascus on saturday and that's when the u.n. experts are expected to reach the u.n. security council on their findings now the white house is is expected to present its case for military action against syria to congressional leaders that may have already happened during a conference call thursday evening and ministration officials say that they have

intelligence that shows the forces loyal to president bashar al assad carried out last week's alleged chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of damascus however critics say that the intelligence that the obama administration does have does not directly tie assad to the alleged chemical weapons attack president obama is reportedly basing his case military action in two ways on two points he says first and foremost he believes the u.s. needs to safeguard international standards against the use of chemical weapons we all remember how he made his statement of chemical weapons use being that red line that can't be crossed and he also says that the use of chemical weapons is a threat to america's national interests and now he believes that syria directly is threat to america's national interests now we should keep in mind that if president obama does order a military strike on syria he would be doing so without congressional approval and

lacking approval from the united nations security council resolution which is required according to international law so if the u.s. moves in unilaterally without approval from the. the international community from the united nations it would be acting in violation of the u.n. charter but by all reports by all accounts by everything that seems to be coming out it seems as though the u.s. president is going to move ahead with his plan even if he has to move ahead on his own as opposed to how he previously planned to move ahead with some european partners and while president obama is inching closer towards international military action against syria u.s. citizens have taken to the streets in new york washington d.c. and several other cities around the country to protest airstrikes against the syrian people according to recent polls only nine percent of americans support

a war in syria protesters that came out into the streets say that just like with weapons of mass destruction in iraq false information they believe is being told now about syria to justify another war now u.s. media reports have pointed to the likely source the u.s. is relying on for its claim that the syrian government used chemical weapons against civilians the proof is said to be based on intercepted phone conversations evidence that was also used by washington a decade ago to justify the iraq war gareth porter an analyst specializing in u.s. national security policy says the obama administration doesn't seem to be clear on its own objectives. it is so so difficult to figure out what the administration really thinks that it's doing and seriously though you know it is sometimes stated that we have to do it for humanitarian purposes and sometimes because of international law both of which are highly debatable to say the least in terms of

recent history as well as a previous history of u.s. policy and you know it begins to look like the there's a small coterie of people within the administration who have gotten the idea that they want to do something and they have somehow prevailed on the president to do something that he apparently didn't want to do and that presents a real mystery of major proportions meanwhile syria's neighbors and other regional powers are closing ranks against a possible intervention jordan a word the u.s. has an air base as its territory cannot be used as a launching pad for any military action against syria iraq says it will refuse to provide its airspace for an attack on its neighbor and eject has issued a strong warning against foreign intervention in syria lebanon's foreign minister has spoken out against military action saying its air space will not be available

and hasbro are which backs its forces has also made it clear that it opposes anger mention and would not stand idle if syria is attacked by the u.s. and its nato allies are to suppose leaders in beirut with the details the street is angry at the hands of and fearful the media in the region is that the winds of little are blowing in so we have both sides all vowing to fight for the country many are afraid that if america launches military intervention this will only result in a bloodbath here in lebanon hizbullah has said it will not stand idly by if assad is fired on this is the clearest indication from the military group that it plans to get involved. and any kind of his bill involvement will see rockets fired at israel already in israel thousands of residents have been going to post offices to collect gas mosques the country is in a state of high alert and army reserve soldiers have been called up there is

we're going to live here the situation is really bad but we will not give up well the severity of the situation is clear to see we are just thirty yards away from a number of residential blocks here in the city of how about ask and all that separates us on those houses is a hastily erected mine made in the hope is that it will stand far in the face of ever increasing water levels the fear now is that the water is going to recede by wind making homes uninhabitable social housing i'm compensation will be available but. we have decided to provide additional aid to people in the disaster area financial aid to those who were hit and compensation for the loss of property one of the top priorities was to provide accommodation for families who will unfortunately have to live through the winter without a home it's a challenge. for now it's

so the historic and for many americans tragic ruling in the bradley manning case just got a lot weirder because he has declared that he wants to live the rest of his life as a woman named chelsea well i'm glad his lawyer got him to keep this revelation to himself until the end of the trial but certainly he really should have pushed for him to keep quiet about this just a bit longer why. i you ask because if there is one thing i know about the mainstream media is that the second sex is involved everything else instantly becomes a distant second case in point what is the legacy of bill clinton is it the job murderer who are sure to nafta no is it a violent foreign policy throughout the world somewhat similar to bush's and obama's in locations like haiti somalia in the balkans etc no his legacy is based on the least important sin he committed as a president cheating on his wife for the years couldn't wasn't office the lewinsky scandal just smothered everything else i am pretty sure that if i know the

mainstream media they are going to use manning as gender confusion to overshadow and drown out everything else involved in the case but that's just my opinion. and this is. couldn't take three years for charges three major three kids three stooges free. old free broadcast video for your media project free media don carty dot com. the. the we.
